Rules When using directions you must use de (of) before you name the place where the thing is located
For example - La biblioteca esta de enfrente de la plaza One exceptions to this rule
When you use between (entre)
For example - La farmacia esta entre el super y la panaderia
Asking for directions
"Hay" (there is, there are) helps to ask for the existence of things. "hay un bano aqui?" is there a toilet here? "esta" helps us ask for things or places we know already exist. For example you know that in the restaurant there is a toilet you would say "donde esta el bano?" where is the toilet?
